The present disclosure provides compounds that are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, in particular BLK, BMX, EGFR, HER2, HER4, ITK, TEC, BTK, and TXK and are therefore useful for the treatment of diseases treatable by inhibition of tyrosine kinases such as cancer and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, and the like. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and processes for preparing such compounds.

The human genome contains at least 500 genes encoding protein kinases. Many of these kinases have been implicated in human disease and as such represent potentially attractive therapeutic targets. For example EGFR is overexpressed in breast, head and neck cancers and the overexpression is correlated with poor survival (see Do N. Y., et al., Expression of c-ErbB receptors, MMPs and VEGF in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Oncol Rep. August 12:229-37. 2004 and Foley J., et al., EGFR signaling in breast cancer: bad to the bone. Semin Cell Dev Biol. 21:951-60. 2010). HER2, another EGFR family member, also is amplified or overexpressed in up to 30% of breast cancers, also correlating with poor survival (see Murphy C. G, Modi S. HER2 breast cancer therapies: a review. Biologics 3:289-301. 2009). HER4, also in the EGFR family, is overexpressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (see Rosen F. S., et al. The primary immunodeficiencies. New Engl. J. Med. 333:431-40. 1995). Other studies show decreased expression of HER4 in certain cancers and suggest tumor suppressor activity (see Thomasson M, et al., ErbB4 is downregulated in renal cell carcinoma—a quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical analysis of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. Acta Oncol. 43:453-9. 2004). Overall the data support a role for members of the EGFR family in cancer. ITK, a member of the TEC kinase family, is involved in activation of T cells and mast cells (see Iyer A. S. et al. Absence of Tec Family Kinases Interleukin-2 Inducible T cell Kinase (Itk) and Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (Btk) Severely Impairs Fc{epsilon}RI-dependent Mast Cell Responses. J. Biol. Chem.; 286:9503-13. 2011) and is a potential target in inflammatory immune diseases such as asthma. Mice deficient in ITK are resistant to development of allergic asthma (see Sahu N, et al., Differential sensitivity to Itk kinase signals for T helper 2 cytokine production and chemokine-mediated migration. J. Immunol. 180:3833-8. 2008). Another family member, BMX, is involved in supporting tumor angiogenesis through it's role in the tumor vascular endothelium (see Tu T, et al., Bone marrow X kinase-mediated signal transduction in irradiated vascular endothelium. Cancer Res. 68:2861-9. 2008) and is also progressively up-regulated during bladder cancer progression (see Guo S., et al., Tyrosine Kinase ETK/BMX Is Up-Regulated in Bladder Cancer and Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Cystectomy. PLoS One. 6:e17778. 2011) suggesting a potential therapeutic target in this type cancer. The B lymphoid kinase (BLK) is linked through genetic association with a variety of rheumatic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis (see Ito I, et al., Association of the FAM167A-BLK region with systemic sclerosis. Arthritis Rheum. 62:890-5. 2010).

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (abbreviated as BTK), a member of the Tec family non-receptor tyrosine kinases that is essential for B cell signaling downstream from the B-cell receptor. It is expressed in B cells and other hematopoietic cells such as monocytes, macrophages and mast cells. It functions in various aspects of B cell function that maintain the B cell repertoire (see Gauld S. B. et al., B cell antigen receptor signaling: roles in cell development and disease. Science, 296:1641-2. 2002)). Clinical validation of the role of B cells in RA has been provided by the efficacy of Rituxan (an anti-CD20 antibody), which depletes B cells as a mechanism of action (see Perosa F., et al., CD20-depleting therapy in autoimmune diseases: from basic research to the clinic. J Intern Med. 267:260-77. 2010 and Dörner T, et al. Targeting B cells in immune-mediated inflammatory disease: a comprehensive review of mechanisms of action and identification of biomarkers. Pharmacol Ther. 125:464-75. 2010). Btk is known to be required for B cell development because patients with the disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (see Rosen F. S., et al., The primary immunodeficiencies. N Engl J Med. 333:431-40. 1995). Notably, small-molecule BTK inhibitors in pre-clinical development have been shown to be efficacious in collagen-induced arthritis (see Pan Z., et al., Discovery of selective irreversible inhibitors for Bruton's tyrosine kinase. J. Med. Chem. 2:58-61. 2007). However, the potential advantage of a BTK inhibitor (beyond the inherent advantage of a small-molecule over a biologic) is that modulation of BTK can inhibit B cell function without permanent removal of the B cell itself. Therefore, the long periods of low B cell levels experienced with Rituxan should be avoidable by targeting BTK.

In addition, the disease modifying activities of BTK are expected to extend beyond those of Rituxan because of effects on addition cellular targets that are involved in propagation of disease. For instance, antigen induced mast cell degranulation is impaired in mast cells derived from the bone marrow of BTK deficient mice, demonstrating that BTK is downstream of the FcεR1 receptor (see Setoguchi R., et al., Defective degranulation and calcium mobilization of bone-marrow derived mast cells from Xid and BTK-deficient mice. Immunol Lett. 64:109-18. 1998). A similar signaling module exists in monocytes and macrophages for the FcγR1 receptor indicating BTK inhibition is highly likely to modulate TNF production in response to IgG. Both mast cells and macrophages are thought to contribute to propagation of the inflammatory cytokine environment of the diseased synovium.

In addition to the peripheral and synovial effects of BTK inhibition described above, there is evidence that BTK inhibition will have bone protective effects in the inflamed joint (see Gravallese E. M., et al., Synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis is a source of osteoclast differentiation factor. Arthritis Rheum. 43:250-8. 2000). Studies with mice that are either deficient in BTK or have impaired BTK function have demonstrated that Rank ligand-induced osteoclast differentiation is impaired in the absence of BTK function (see Lee S. H., et. al., The tec family tyrosine kinase BTK Regulates RANKL-induced osteoclast maturation. J. Biol. Chem. 283:11526-34. 2008). Taken together these studies suggest a BTK inhibitor could inhibit or reverse the bone destruction that occurs in RA patients. Given the importance of B cells in autoimmune disease, BTK inhibitors could also have utility in other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (see Shlomchik M. J., et. al., The role of B cells in lpr/lpr-induced autoimmunity J. Exp Med. 180:1295-1306. 1994). Notably, an irreversible BTK inhibitor has been shown to display efficacy in the mouse MRL/lpr lupus model, reducing autoantibody production and renal damage (see Honigberg L. A., The Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B-cell activation and is efficacious in models of autoimmune disease and B-cell malignancy. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 107:13075-80. 2010).

There is also potential for BTK inhibitors for treating allergic diseases (see Honigberg, L., et. al., The selective BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B cell and mast cell activation and prevents mouse collagen induced arthritis. Clin. Immunol. 127 S1:S111. 2008). In addition, the irreversible inhibitor suppresses passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by IgE antigen complex in mice (see Honigberg, L., et. al., The selective BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 blocks B cell and mast cell activation and prevents mouse collagen induced arthritis. Clin. Immunol. 127 S1:S111. 2008). These findings are in agreement with those noted with BTK-mutant mast cells and knockout mice and suggest that BTK inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of asthma, an IgE-dependent allergic disease of the airway.

In addition, platelet aggregation in response to collagen or collagen-related peptide is impaired in XLA patients who lack BTK function (see Quek L. S, et al., A role for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) in platelet activation by collagen. Curr. Biol. 8:1137-40.1998). This is manifested by changes downstream from GPIV, such as phosphorylation of PLCgamma2 and calcium flux, which suggests potential utility in treating thromboembolic diseases.

Preclinical studies with a selective inhibitor of BTK have shown effects on spontaneous canine B cell lymphomas suggesting a potential utility in human lymphomas or other hematologic malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Accordingly, there is a need for compounds that inhibit tyrosine kinases thereby providing treatment for diseases such as autoimmune diseases, thromboembolic diseases and cancer. The present disclosure can fulfill this need and related needs.

The term “electron withdrawing group” refers to a chemical substituent that modifies the electrostatic forces acting on a nearby chemical reaction center by withdrawing negative charge from that chemical reaction center. Thus, electron withdrawing groups draw electrons away from a reaction center. As a result, the reaction center is fractionally more positive than it would be in the absence of the electron-withdrawing group. In some embodiments, the chemical reaction center is one of the two carbons forming the carbon-carbon double bond (olefin). In some embodiments, the chemical reaction center is the olefin carbon attached to EWG. The electron withdrawing group functions to draw charge or electrons away from this olefin carbon thereby making the olefin carbon electron deficient (relative to the absence of the electron withdrawing group). The electron deficient olefin carbon is thereby rendered more reactive toward electron rich chemical groups, such as the sulfhydryl of a kinase active site cysteine.

Some non-limiting examples of EWG include, but are not limited to, —NR′—, —CH(haloalkyl)-, —S(O₂), —S(O), —CO—, —NR′CO—, —NR′SO₂—, —PO(OR′)—,

In the compounds of Formula (IA), (I′) or (I), when R¹ or R⁵ is —Z-(EWG)—C(CN)═CHR^(c) and the ring to which R¹ or R⁵ is attached is an electron deficient π system, both Z and EWG can be a bond and the carbon atom substituted with the cyano group in —C(CN)═CHR^(c) can directly attach to such electron deficient ring. A ring has electron deficient π system when it is substituted with an electron withdrawing group or the ring itself is electron deficient e.g., heteroaryl rings containing electronegative ring atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur.

In some embodiments, a composition of the present disclosure comprises a compound corresponding to Formula (IA), (I′) or (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) in which R¹ or R⁵ is —Z-(EWG)-C(CN)═CHR^(c) and the ring to which R¹ or R⁵ is attached is an electron deficient π system.

Compounds of the present disclosure containing an asymmetrically substituted atom may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of materials. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms are within the scope of this disclosure, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated.

Certain compounds of Formula (IA), (I′) or (I) (or any of the embodiments thereof described herein), can exist as tautomers and/or geometric isomers. All possible tautomers and cis and trans isomers, as individual forms and mixtures thereof are within the scope of this disclosure. Additionally, as used herein the term alkyl includes all the possible isomeric forms of said alkyl group albeit only a few examples are set forth. Furthermore, when the cyclic groups such as aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl are substituted, they include all the positional isomers albeit only a few examples are set forth. Furthermore, all polymorphic forms and hydrates of a compound of Formula (IA), (I′) or (I) (or any of the embodiments thereof described herein), are within the scope of this disclosure.

“Oxo” or “carbonyl” means C═(O) group.

“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “heterocyclyl group optionally substituted with an alkyl group” means that the alkyl may but need not be present, and the description includes situations where the heterocyclyl group is substituted with an alkyl group and situations where the heterocyclyl group is not substituted with alkyl.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient” means a carrier or an excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes a carrier or an excipient that is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. “A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier/excipient” as used in the specification and claims includes both one and more than one such excipient.

“Substituted alkyl” means alkyl group as defined herein which is substituted with one, two, or three substituents independently selected from hydroxyl, alkoxy, carboxy, cyano, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl, halo, —CONRR′ or —NRR′ (where each R is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or alkoxyalkyl, and each R′ is hydrogen, alkyl, or cycloalkyl) or heterocyclyl (preferably heterocycloamino) which is optionally substituted with one or two groups independently selected from alkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl, halo, or —CONRR′ where R and R′ are as defined above.

“Treating” or “treatment” of a disease includes:

(1) preventing the disease, i.e. causing the clinical symptoms of the disease not to develop in a mammal that may be exposed to or predisposed to the disease but does not yet experience or display symptoms of the disease;

(2) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting or reducing the development of the disease or its clinical symptoms; or

(3) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease or its clinical symptoms.

A “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of a compound of Formula (IA), (I′) or (I) (or any of the embodiments thereof described herein), that, when administered to a mammal for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the mammal to be treated.

For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing about 1.0 to about 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly about 1.0, 5.0, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 800, 900, and 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient. The actual amount of the compound of this disclosure, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound being utilized, the route and form of administration, and other factors.

In general, compounds of this disclosure will be administered as pharmaceutical compositions by any one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or by suppository), or parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) administration. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen, which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. Compositions can take the form of tablets, pills, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate compositions.

The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration (e.g., for oral administration, formulations in the form of tablets, pills or capsules are preferred) and the bioavailability of the drug substance. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a crosslinked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability.

The compositions are comprised of in general, a compound of formula (IA), (I′) or (I) in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Acceptable excipients are non-toxic, aid administration, and do not adversely affect the therapeutic benefit of the compound of formula (IA), (I′) or (I). Such excipient may be any solid, liquid, semi-solid or, in the case of an aerosol composition, gaseous excipient that is generally available to one of skill in the art.

Solid pharmaceutical excipients include starch, cellulose, talc, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, magnesium stearate, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, sodium chloride, dried skim milk and the like. Liquid and semisolid excipients may be selected from glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol and various oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc. Preferred liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions, include water, saline, aqueous dextrose, and glycols.

Compressed gases may be used to disperse a compound of this disclosure in aerosol form. Inert gases suitable for this purpose are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.

Biological Examples Tyrosine Kinase TR-FRET Assay

Inhibition of tyrosine kinase enzymatic activity by compounds is measured using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) (Invitrogen pamphlet: Optimization of a LanthaScreen Kinase assay for BTK). Here, a signal is observed only when a Europium-coupled phophotyrosine antibody binds the phosphorylated peptide. Compounds are first prepared in 100% DMSO and serially diluted 10 times via 3-fold dilution. 2.5 μl of inhibitor at 4-fold the final assay concentration is next transferred to the 384-well assay plate (Corning Catalog #3676). A solution of 2-fold the final concentration of appropriate kinase enzyme and Alexafluor 647-coupled peptide substrate (Invitrogen Catalog #5693) is next prepared in advance in a kinase buffer of 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA. For this solution, the final concentration of the appropriate kinase and peptide is typically 1 nM and 100 nM, respectively. 5 μL of this 2-fold mix of kinase and peptide is added as the second step of the procedure to the 384-well assay plate. To initiate the enzymatic reaction, 2.5 μl of a 4-fold excess ATP solution in kinase buffer is added to the 384-well assay plate. Final ATP concentration is typically set to the Km for ATP. The reaction is allowed to proceed for 60 minutes. During the kinase reaction, a stop solution consisting of EDTA and a Europium-containing phosphotyrosine antibody (Invtrogen Catalog #5692) is prepared in TR-FRET dilution buffer (Invitrogen Catalog #3574). The stop solution contains an EDTA concentration of 20 mM and an antibody concentration of 4 nM. After the 60 minute reaction, 10 μl of the stop solution is added to all wells. Each well is mixed and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Plates are read on a Perkin Elmer Envision TR-FRET plate reader under LanthaScreen settings. Excitation wavelength is 337 nm and Emission wavelengths are 620 nm and 665 nm Data are acquired as the ratio of emission at 665 nm/emission at 620 nm and plotted as a function of compound concentration to ascertain compound potency. Here, a signal is observed only when a Europium-coupled phophotyrosine antibody binds the phosphorylated peptide.

Example 2 BTK Radiometric Enzyme Assay

BTK activity is measured by product formation based on the incorporation of ³³PO₄ from [33P]ATP into a biotin-tagged substrate peptide (see Dinh M., et. al., Activation mechanism and steady state kinetics of Bruton's tyrosine kinase. J. Biol. Chem. 282:8768-76. 2007). The peptide Is isolated from unreacted [³³P]ATP using streptavidin-coated beads. Each well of a 96-well V bottom plate (Greiner, Monroe, N.C.), contains assay buffer (8 mM imidazole, pH 7.2, 8 mM glycerol 2-phosphate, 200 uM EGTA, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM MnCl₂, 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, and 2 mM dithiothreitol) which was combined to 40 ul with a mixture of substrates dissolved in assay buffer such that the final concentrations were 1 uCi of [³³P]ATP, 100 uM ATP, and peptide substrate (biotin-Aca-AAAEEIYGEI-NH2). Initiation of the reaction is by addition of BTK to a final concentration of 10 nM. The reaction is incubated at 30° C. for 15 min. The reaction is stopped by transferring 25 ul of sample to a 96-well 1.2 -um hydrophilic polyvinylidene difluoride filter plate (Millipore, Billerica, Mass.) containing 10% streptavidin-Sepharose beads (GE Healthcare) dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline plus 50 mM EDTA. Filter plates are washed with 2 M NaCl, then with 2 M NaCl with 1% phosphoric acid, and then with H₂O. Plates were allowed to dry and microscint-20 (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Boston, Mass.) was added. The [³³P]phosphoproduct is detected by a top-count scintillation counter. The enzyme activity is calculated for each data point. The corrected number of counts in each well is determined by subtracting the background counts from the measured counts. This value is then divided by the total number of counts that were originally present in the solution (determined by spotting and counting an equivalent volume of unwashed sample on a filter plate) and multiplied by the concentration of ATP in solution to give the concentration of phosphorylated product formed. Selectivity for BTK will be determined using commercially available kinase cross-screening services (DiscoveRx, San Diego, Calif.).

Example 4 Cellular BTK Activity Measured by Reporter Assay in Ramos Cells

The beta lactamase-based select-screen reporter assay is used to measure BTK cell-based activity (Invitrogen Selectscreen Screening Protocol and Assay Conditions document. Revised 8 Feb. 2010). 32 μL of NFAT-bla RA1 (Invitrogen) cells diluted in Assay Media to appropriate cell density are added to the Poly-D-Lysine assay plate containing 4 μL of a 10× serial dilution of a BTK control compound or test compounds. Pre-incubation at 37° C./5% CO2 in a humidified incubator with compounds and control inhibitor titration is for 30 minutes. 4 μL of 10× control activator Goat anti-Human IgM at the pre-determined EC80 concentration is added to wells containing the control inhibitor or compounds. The plate is incubated for 5 hours at 37° C./5% CO₂ in a humidified incubator. 8 μL of 1 μM Substrate Loading Solution is added to each well and the plate is incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. The plate is read on a fluorescence plate reader and the data is analyzed. A response ratio is calculated from the emissions of cleaved and uncleaved substrate. The response ratio of wells with compound dilutions is compared with wells that contain only DMSO to calculate the percent inhibition at each compound concentration. A dose response curve is constructed and an IC₅₀ is calculated.

Example 5 Btk Enzymatic Activity Assay

A Caliper-based kinase assay (Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, Mass.) was used to measure inhibition of Btk kinase activity of a compound of Formula (IA), (I′) or (I). Serial dilutions of test compounds were incubated with human recombinant Btk (2 nM), ATP (40 μM) and a phosphoacceptor peptide substrate FAM-GEEPLYWSFPAKKK-NH₂ (1 μM) at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction was then terminated with EDTA, final concentration 20 mM and the phosphorylated reaction product was quantified on a Caliper Desktop Profiler (Caliper LabChip 3000).

Example 6 Blockade of CD69 Expression in Whole Blood Samples

Activation of the B cell receptor leads to increased BTK activity, calcium mobilization and B cell activation (see Honigberg L. A., et. al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 107:13075-80. 2010). BTK inhibitors have been shown to block B cell activation as measured by CD69 expression (see Karp, R., et. al., Inhibition of BTK with AVL-292 Translates to Protective Activity in Animal Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis Inflammation Research Association Meeting, September, 2010). We used expression of CD69 following B cell activation as a measure of BTK activity in whole blood. Aliquots of whole blood are pre-incubated with serial dilutions of test compound for 30 minutes followed by activation with anti-IgM (goat Fab′2, 50 ug/ml). Samples are incubated overnight at 37 C and then stained with PE labeled anti-CD20 and APC labeled anti-CD69 (BD Pharmingen) for 30 minutes according to the manufacturer's directions. Whole blood is then lysed and cells gated on CD20 expression are quantified for CD 69 expression by FACS. The percent inhibition is calculated based on a DMSO control for no inhibition and plotted as a function of test compound concentration from which an IC₅₀ value is calculated.

Example 7 Inhibition of Mouse Collagen-Induced Arthritis

Inhibition of murine collagen-induced arthritis (mCIA) is a standard animal disease model for rheumatoid arthritis. Previous studies have demonstrated that inhibition of BTK is efficacious in blocking mCIA (see Honigberg L. A., et. al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 107:13075-80. 2010). Starting on day 0 DBA/1 mice are injected with an emulsion of Type II collagen in Complete Freund's Adjuvant. Mice are boosted 21 days later to synchronize development of disease. After development of mild disease, animals are enrolled in the study and randomized. Dosing is oral, Q.D. typically for 11 days with test compound or dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg) as control. One group receives vehicle alone. Clinical scoring (0-4) is based on the extent of swelling and severity of arthritis. Scores for all four paws are added for maximum score of 16. Anti-collagen antibodies and total Ig are measured for each animal by Elisa at the end of the study (Bolder BioPath, Boulder, Colo.).

Example 8 Recovery of Kinase Activity Upon Dialysis

Standard experimental methods to establish reversibility are known in the art. Protein dialysis is one such method. A solution containing a protein kinase that is inhibited by a compound of Formula I may be subjected to extensive dialysis to establish if the kinase inhibitor is reversible. Partial or complete recovery of protein kinase activity over time during dialysis is indicative of reversibility.

Method:

A compound of Formula I described herein (1 uM) is added to a solution of protein kinase (50 nM, pre-activated if necessary) in a buffer containing 20 mM Hepes [pH 8.0], 10 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), 0.25 mg/mL BSA, and 100 uM ATP. After 60 min at rt, the reactions is transferred to a dialysis cassette (0.1-0.5 mL Slide-A-Lyzer, MWCO 10 kDa, Pierce) and dialyzed against 2 L of buffer (20 mM Hepes [pH 8.0], 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT) at 4° C. The dialysis buffer is exchanged after 2 h, and then is exchanged every 24 h until the end of the experiment. Aliquots are removed from the dialysis cassettes every 24 h, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently analyzed for protein kinase activity in triplicate. Kinase activity for each sample is normalized to the DMSO control for that time point and expressed as the mean±SD.

Results: Kinase activity recovers from inhibition by reversible kinase inhibitors upon dialysis. Upon extensive dialysis at 4° C. or at room temperature, kinase activity partially or completely recovers in a time-dependent manner from inhibition by an excess (20 equiv, 1.0 uM) of reversible kinase inhibitor.

Example 9 Mass Spectral Analysis

A protein kinase that is inhibited by compound of Formula I may be subjected to mass spectral analysis to assess the formation of permanent, irreversible covalent adducts. Suitable analytical methods to examine intact full protein or peptide fragments generated upon tryptic cleavage of the protein kinase are generally known in the art. Such methods identify permanent, irreversible covalent protein adducts by observing a mass peak that corresponds to the mass of a control sample plus the mass of an irreversible adduct. Two such methods are described below.

Mass Spectral Analysis of Intact Full Kinase

Method:

A protein kinase (5 uM) is incubated with a compound of Formula I (25 uM, 5 equiv) for 1 h at room temperature in buffer (20 mM Hepes [pH 8.0], 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2). A control sample is also prepared which does not have a compound of Formula I. The reaction is stopped by adding an equal volume of 0.4% formic acid, and the samples are analyzed by liquid chromatography (Microtrap C18 Protein column [Michrom Bioresources], 5% MeCN, 0.2% formic acid, 0.25 mL/min; eluted with 95% MeCN, 0.2% formic acid) and in-line ESI mass spectrometry (LCT Premier, Waters). Molecular masses of the protein kinase and any adducts may be determined with MassLynx deconvolution software.

Results: High-resolution intact mass spectrometry analysis of a kinase that is inhibited by a compound of Formula I will reveal a spectrum similar to the kinase in the absence of inhibitor (e.g. control sample). There will be no formation of a new peak in the mass spectrum corresponding to the molecular mass of the kinase plus the molecular mass of the compound of Formula I. On the basis of this experiment no permanent, irreversible protein adduct will be apparent to one skilled in the art.

Mass Spectral Analysis of Kinase Tryptic Digest

Method:

A protein (10-100 pmols) is incubated with a compound of Formula I (100-1000 pmols, 10 equiv) for 3 hrs prior to tryptic digestion. Iodoacetamide may be used as the alkylating agent after compound incubation. A control sample is also prepared which does not the compound of Formula I. For tryptic digests a 1 ul aliquot (3.3 pmols) is diluted with 10 ul of 0.1% TFA prior to micro C18 Zip Tipping directly onto the MALDI target using alpha cyano-4-hydroxy cinnamic acid as the desorption matrix (5 mg/mol in 0.1% TFA:Acetonitrile 50:50) or Sinapinic acid as the desorption matrix (10 mg/mol in 0.1% TFA:Acetonitrile 50:50).

Results: High-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of the tryptic fragments of a kinase that is inhibited by a compound of Formula I will reveal a spectrum similar to the kinase in the absence of inhibitor (e.g. control sample). There will be no evidence of any modified peptides that are not present in the control sample. On the basis of this experiment, no permanent, irreversible protein adducts will be apparent to one skilled in the art. Cellular assays are also optionally used to assess the inhibiting properties of a compound of Formula I provided herein or embodiments thereof. Cellular assays include cells from any appropriate source, including plant and animal cells (such as mammalian cells). The cellular assays are also optionally conducted in human cells. Cellular assays of BTK inhibition are well known in the art, and include methods in which an inhibitor is delivered into the cell (e.g. by electroporation, passive diffusion, microinjection and the like) and an activity endpoint is measured, such as the amount of phosphorylation of a cellular substrate, the amount of expression of a cellular protein, or some other change in the cellular phenotype known to be affected by the catalytic activity of BTK. For example, phosphorylation of a particular cellular substrate is optionally assessed using a detection antibody specific or the phosphorylated cellular substrate followed by western blotting techniques and visualization using any appropriate means (e.g. fluorescent detection of a fluorescently labeled antibody).

Measuring the reduction in the BTK catalytic activity in the presence of an inhibitor disclosed herein relative to the activity in the absence of the inhibitor is optionally performed using a variety of methods known in the art, such as the assays described in the Examples section below. Other methods for assaying BTK activity are known in the art.

Example 10

Determination of Drug-Kinase Residence Time . . . Drug Off-Rate Assay

The following is a protocol to distinguish whether a compound displays a slow or non-existent dissociation rate from BTK, such as typically would occur if a covalent bond is formed between the compound and the target. The read-out for slow dissociation is the ability of the compound of interest to block binding of a high affinity fluorescent tracer molecule to the kinase active site, as detected using time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET). The experiment was conducted in a buffer consisting of 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 1 mM EGTA.

The first step of the procedure was incubation of 500 nM BTK (Invitrogen Cat. #PV3587) with 1.5 uM of a compound of Formula (IA) for 30 minutes in a volume of 10 uL. The mixture was then diluted 5-fold by addition of 40 uL of buffer. A 10 uL volume of the diluted kinase/compound solution was then added to a well of a small volume 384 well plate (such as Greiner Cat. #784076). In order to probe for reversibility of the kinase-compound binding interaction, a competition solution containing both a high affinity fluorescent tracer and an antibody coupled to Europium was prepared. For BTK, the competition solution contained 1.5 uM Tracer 178 (Invitrogen Cat. #PV5593), which is a proprietary high affinity ligand for BTK coupled to the fluorophore AlexaFluor 647. The competition solution also contained 80 nM of an Anti-polyhistidine antibody coupled to Europium (Invitrogen Cat. #PV5596) which is designed to bind the polyhistidine purification tag in BTK.

After addition of 10 uL of the competition solution to the Greiner plate, the mixture was incubated for one hour or greater to allow time for dissociation of non-covalent inhibitors and binding of the high affinity tracer. It was expected that covalent and slow dissociating inhibitors will block binding of the tracer while rapidly dissociating non-covalent inhibitors will not. Binding of the tracer to BTK was detected using TR-FRET between the Europium moiety of the Anti-histidine antibody and the AlexaFluor 647 group of Tracer 178. Binding was evaluated using a Perkin Elmer Envision instrument (Model 2101) equipped with filters and mirrors compatible with LANCE-type TR-FRET experiments. Data were plotted at percentage of signal obtained in the absence of competitor compound. The background signal was obtained by omission of BTK from the reaction.

Reversibility of Binding

The following approach was developed to differentiate compounds that form irreversible bonds with their targets, such as acrylamide compounds, from compound that bind reversibly. Reactions were prepared with the protein target at a higher concentration than the compounds of interest. Both irreversible and reversible compounds bound the target and became depleted from solution. The reactions were then treated with perturbations including both denaturation with 5 M guanidine hydrochloride and digestion with trypsin, disrupting proper folding of the target. It was found that the perturbation returned reversible compounds to solution due to dissociation from the target while irreversible compounds remained bound to the target. The concentration of compound in solution was assessed both preceding and following perturbation using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Using this technique, it was demonstrated that an acrylamide-containing compound 1 (shown in table below) was depleted from solution in both the native and perturbed state, while reversible compounds 1 and 27 were depleted in the folded state but returned to solution following perturbation of the target (See table below).
